Yesterday, Joe Biden took the oath of office. And today, we've already shut down Keystone XL. We're on track to reverse 100 of Trump's rollbacks on public health and environmental rules. We're in motion to rejoin the Paris climate agreement.

That's a start, friend. What happens next is on us. We need to pass a serious plan to tackle climate change, and our window is incredibly short to do it. It means demanding immediate action from President Biden, and flooding Congress with calls and letters.

We need to raise hell — and we need your help to do it. Bottom line, that kind of campaigning doesn't happen when the environmental movement stays quiet.

The best thing you can do right now to make a difference is renew your LCV membership for 2021. All it takes is $5. As part of our Membership Drive, a group of donors will triple match your contribution — and any contribution you make this year. It's an incredible way to build power in 2021.

Renew your LCV membership today — it only costs $5. Anything you can afford to contribute will make a huge difference »

This is our last best chance to turn the tide on climate change. We have to fight like our lives depend on it, because they really do. And the truth is, there are so many reasons to renew your LCV membership for 2021 right now. Here are just a few:

1. Because the Trump EPA has finalized a scheme that would restrict the use of the best available science in EPA policymaking and private sector decisions. This has detrimental impacts on the EPA's ability to protect communities who are already experiencing the worst impacts of the climate crisis and the coronavirus pandemic, especially communities of color, from harmful pollution and chemicals. Pitch in to help stop this »
2. Because Trump set off a mad rush to sell off protected federal land. A uranium mine in South Dakota. A copper mine in protected Apache territory in Arizona. Helium drilling in Utah wilderness. An open-pit lithium mine in Nevada. Each of these efforts are barreling forward — and the further along they get, the harder it will be to reverse the damage. We have to stop these projects, but it has to be now. Pitch in today »
3. Because we just won an environmental majority in the Senate. Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff both made history, and now we're finally going to have a shot — a real shot — at passing a serious plan to tackle climate change. This is the environmental movement's now-or-never moment. We must make the first 100 days of the Biden administration transformational. Are you on board? Let's make it happen »
4. Because if you donate as part of the 2021 Membership Drive, your contribution will be tripled. And not just this contribution — but any donation you make to LCV in 2021. It's a smart way to maximize your impact for the environment this year »
5. Because membership is only $5 right now. Seriously — any amount helps. Give $5 and claim your membership today »

We made it through Trump, friend. It's been a truly terrible four years for the environment — but the truth is, it would have been so much worse without people like you resisting every step of the way.

Now — let's turn things around.

Onward,

Gene Karpinski
